The Albuquerque BioPark will be one of only two zoos in the United States with the rare Australian animal. The Tasmanian devils are coming to the bio park as part of a program to raise awareness and conservation funding for the animals.

"Just a dirt dust devil just going around and around, as fast as it can go," one Zoo customer said.

The BioPark will get four Tasmanian devils. It has taken more than 10 years to get Tasmanian Devils to New Mexico.

They will come from Australia in November.

"It's unique,” said zoo manager Lynn Tupa. “We're special. We worked hard for this and I think Albuquerque should be proud of us.”
